Road Safety

In Car Safety

Adult seatbelts are said to save over 2000 lives every year on Britain's roads. We all recognise this and even more so when it comes to children.

Most accidents involving children and cars occur when they are being carried as passengers. It is imperative they are carried as safely as possible. Whilst we recognise the need for children to be carried in a recognised Child restraint, do we really know which is most appropriate for the child and compatible with our particular vehicle.

With very few exemptions, by law all children under 135 cms in height and up to the age of 12 years must not be carried in a vehicle unless they are restrained in an appropriate child restraint. Having reached this height or age they may be carried using an adult seatbelt.
